The Best Restaurant in Downtown and the River Walk, San Antonio

This deservedly popular spot at a bend on the River Walk melds fine Italian dining with a Mediterranean approach. The range of foodie-friendly dishes includes the signature Shrimp Paesano, a delicate and flavorful, lightly breaded and baked concoction accented with lemon, butter, and garlic, available as an appetizer or as an entrée. Other standouts include wood-fired pizzas, eggplant parmigiana, and Snapper Paesano. Paesanos has another location at 555 E. Basse Rd.
